HP 14s-dq5029: coffee spill, right-side keys dead — safe to wait a week?

HP 14s-dq5029 coffee spill 2 days ago. Laptop works fine except the far-right keys: Delete, Home, Page Up, Page Down, Left/Right arrow.

Repair here is expensive and I’m traveling to Egypt next week. Is it safe to wait until then, and does this sound fixable or possibly permanent?

Screen started doing this with no warning

Nothing seemed to cause it, I was just sitting there using it like normal, it was working just fine, and then suddenly the screen did this. Nothing seemed to lead up to it, I wasn't doing anything I haven't done before, and it happened immediately without warning. It's an HP ENVY, model 17m-ch0013dx

For Battery Replacement

I needed to get my laptop's battery replaced. I called the HP service center. They said it would cost ₹5,800, a one-year warranty, and ₹300 for installation. Is this a fair price?

Laptop works at repair shop but not at hostel, really confused

My laptop isn’t turning on at my hostel, so I took it to a repair shop. There, the guy plugged in his charger and the laptop started immediately. Then we tried my charger too, and it also worked perfectly fine at the shop.

But after coming back to hostel, same issue again. Laptop won’t start. Tried different sockets in my room and other rooms. Then tried at my hospital as well, still not working there either.
Location: India.

So currently:

  • laptop + my charger works at repair shop
  • same laptop + same charger does NOT work at hostel/hospital

Anyone know what could cause this? or faced similar problem?

Envy, what you feel of those who use any other brands

October is when I bought the absolute recycling bait hp Envy. In all the time it's spent most time in HP being "repaired" because it WON'T STOP CRASHING.

Open MS Paint? Crash

Alt Tab? Crash

Play a game? Crash

I'm 100% convinced that all positive reviews are bought and paid for by HP.

After being in for repairs for over a month, it came back CRASHING AGAIN! HP IS A JOKE

HP Envy Missing Device

I installed Windows back in the day with my own Windows install disk. I ran all the updates and downloaded whatever Windows Update couldn't find from the HP stie directly but when I open Device Manager there still a device that is unknown to Windows. I've even gone as far as having the HP Assistant scan my laptop to find what it missing.

Everything is functioning on the laptop but it's driving me nuts knowing that that device is missing. Does anyone have any advice or an idea of what be missing?

HP Victus RTX 3050 Laptop Lagging, Apps Crashing & High RAM Usage – Need Help

​

Hi everyone,

I recently bought a new HP Victus gaming laptop around 8–10 days ago, but I’m facing many issues and I’m really worried and frustrated.

## Laptop Specs

- HP Victus

- RTX 3050 6GB

- AMD Ryzen 5

- 16GB DDR5 RAM

- 512GB SSD

- Windows 11

## Problems I’m Facing

- Laptop feels laggy even during normal tasks

- Apps open very slowly

- Sometimes apps crash or auto close

- Cursor freezes for 2–3 seconds randomly

- System does not feel smooth at all

- WhatsApp, Claude, Steam etc. take unusually long to open

- Sometimes laptop restarts automatically

- NVIDIA app also showed a crash notification once

## Strange Thing

Hardware doesn’t seem completely broken because:

- CPU usage looks normal

- SSD usage is mostly normal

- Temperatures are around normal

- Games can run

But RAM usage goes to around **65–72% even when almost nothing is open**.

I only had:

- 1–2 Chrome tabs

- Steam installed

- Some gaming apps

Still system feels heavy.

## Things I Already Tried

- Updated Windows

- Updated drivers

- Disabled startup apps

- Checked Task Manager

- Uninstalled some background apps

- Checked temperatures

## My Question

Could this be:

- Windows/software issue?

- Driver problem?

- HP bloatware?

- Faulty RAM/SSD?

- Or should I ask for replacement/service?

I’m honestly very stressed because this is an expensive laptop for me and I expected smooth performance.

Any help or suggestions would really mean a lot 🙏

But currently iam facing the problem of not being able to connect or pair with my bluetooth while iam able to discover devices through my laptop, when I try to connect or pair though it says "the device isn't responding". I've tried multiple ways reinstalled drivers through hp support cleared my registers(regedit), did the component test and bluetooth service passed the test that means no problem with hardware. I do think the problem is with windows iam not sure idk how to solve someone please help. I did try contacting the customer service they were kinda clueless

Windows 11 won't boot unless perform hard reset or boot in from BIOS on HP Laptop

I can only get Windows 11 to boot from performing a hard reset or if esc f10 and boot in from the BIOS. I have ran extensive tests on my storage and memory and everything passed I’ve reseated my ram and ssd. If I power on normally it gets stuck on the hp logo, also freezes if it goes into sleep or hibernation.
